My New Ride SP125 ....plz Say MashAllah!

salam guys and Eid mubarak to u all ... so finally after keep changing my mind and much khuaari i finally purchased super power 125 which has got some serious bad repo on PW ..lollxx ..but Allhamulliah i m very satisfied with this bike so far... now i am sharing my long experience below ..

i had a 70cc chonda for 7 years now recently its engine had lost its power ...initially i thought for engine overhaul and alteration with 100cc cylinder but after some researching,discussing with fellow pw members and noticing mechanics(ustaaad) work here, dropped that idea ... now i was looking for a bike in 100cc category ... i visited akbar road, u.p. more mkt many times and rode,checked almost all bikes in 100cc category ...as unique 100 prouction being halted, i found sp100 to be the best value for money but the only downside was its ride was not so comfortable due to huge fuel tank placement ... otherwise its a very good bike from every aspect and build quality is good to ... then i checked cd100 and no doubt its the most economical and comfortable bike available here ...i finalize it but the problem arose as it has very limited sale here in khi,most people dont even recognize it and i found only 2,3 used/abused models that too of 2005 which was a flop model ... now buying a 0 meter honda in khi was out of question ...

so last sunday i was in bikes market in hope to find cd100 but didnt find any ...then i thought why shouldn't to check 125 models ..again honda was out of question so i checked unique 125 ... i didn't like it as its same centuries old design, no discs, stiff shocks and fuel tank sounded like a tin can ...then i checked this, the taboo ... the sp125 ... and surprisingly i found it to be very good in its price tag and bought it right away ...its 2012 early model ...

so here is a short review

The PRos

1)perfect disc brake with front hydraulic shocks working like malayi

2)awesome (karak)sound

3)comfortable riding position as its a copy of honda,

4)big a$$ tires of service with excellent road grip same as honda,

5)powerfull engine, it easily touches 95 with slight acceleration,didnt check the top speed as my riding top speed is 80 anyway

6)very less vibration for 125 ... at 90 slight vibration starts in foot pedals only ..no vibration in handle so far

7) last but not least is the price in which u got all these features

The Cons

1)plastic and plastic ...as almost 40% of bike consist of plastic body parts and they are not well fitted, so they got loose with time, making lousy noises giving the impression of cheap build but not a big issue, i just picked used rubber pieces from mechanic shop an fitted them in the vibrating areas and now alhamdulliah bike is sound free ..no more khat phat

2) despite of big a$$ crystal headlight, the light is not upto mark ..my previous bike's stock round headlight was smaller and more powerfull than this ..

3)chrome finish is not up to mark ..but thats usual with every other bike these days..

4)like other users pointed out ... chain sprocket is of cheap quality ... i will change it after it got worn off ..(pakistani mentality )

users also said its carb is not good ..dont know, i will update it after checking the average of bike and there is no problem in cold starting so far, starts every time in first kick...people also complain about its hard seat but i found it soft and comfortable maybe because its already used ..also the dual horn on this ride is way to high ...pedestrian almost jumps when i honk it ...

because of these little issues, its not a bike for rider who just want to purchase and ride a trouble free bike ... u hv to spent some time and money with it ...

my old chonda jialing 70cc..

UPDATE

average bike giving so far is 48km/l ... average speed is 50 to 60km/h ... no useless acceleration, idle set @ 1k rpm and always speed up after proper warmup ....

UPDATE
my old helmet wrapped in CF vinyl ... it was a hard job but worth it ..

Amjad bhai according to the table of Servis company, there i can see a lot of difference between the diameter of both rims. Now what is your opinion. Also brother when you changed the tyre of your Pridor, how it got fitted on the same rim where a tyre of 2.75-18 was installed?

Racer bro it has fitted perfectly without any problem
there in chart as you see Rim size is same for both tyre sizes
3.00-18 & 2.75-18 which is 1.60 however yes according this chart
there is difference in width of Rim
but despite that 3.00-18 fits perfect on 1.60 Rim
some guys have installed 90/90 on CD100 Rim
which I guess is wrong although it works but i think not recommendable

Removing chrome use sand paper and to make it more easy apply brasso first and then rub with sand paper chrome will be removed, and yes chrome cannot be painted for paiting chromed part first chrome has to be removed otherwise paint will not stick

they must be afraid of sanding .. chrome is just a layer of chromium like any other paint layer on metal .. once sanded, the layer is off, revealing bare metal ..then u can easily paint it ....
